The objective of this Chapter is to provide guidance on the requirements for Safety Management systems for MASS operations to meet the provisions of the IMO codes.


13.2 Scope


13.2.1 The objectives of this Code are to ensure safety at sea, prevention of human injury or loss of life, and avoidance of damage to the environment, in particular to the marine environment and to property. This can be successfully implemented by the use of a Safety Management System (SMS) as part of the management and operation of MASS.


13.2.2 The purpose of this Chapter is to provide guidance on how to develop and implement an effective SMS for MASS. 13.3 General 13.3.1 Safety management objectives of the Operator should provide for:


n Safe practices in MASS operation and a safe working environment; n Assess all identified risks to the MASS, personnel and the environment and establish appropriate safeguards; and n Continuously improve safety management skills of personnel ashore and aboard MASS, including preparing for emergencies related both to safety and environmental protection.


13.3.2 The safety management system should ensure:


n Compliance with rules and regulations; and n That applicable codes, guidelines and standards mandated or recommended by the International Maritime Organisation, administrations (e.g. The Maritime & Coastguard Agency), classification societies (e.g. Lloyds) and maritime industry organizations are taken into account.


13.3.3 Every Operator should develop, implement and maintain a safety management system, which includes the following functional requirements:


n A safety and environmental-protection policy; n Instructions and procedures to ensure safe operation of MASS and protection of the environment in compliance with relevant international and Flag State legislation;


n Defined levels of authority and lines of communication between, and amongst, shore and MASS personnel; n Procedures for reporting accidents and non-conformities with the provisions of this Code; n Procedures to prepare for and respond to emergency situations; and n Procedures for internal audits and management reviews.
